Weddings

Attended two weddings. One was the daughter of a family friend and was held at Nagerkoil, practically the southernmost tip of India in the State of Tamil Nadu. The bride was a doctor and so was the bridegroom. I am furnishing a picture of the bride together with her parents and my wife and myself. The parents of the bride are to the right of the bride who is in the middle all decked out in a bridal outfit.

The other was the son of my college mate and was held in Madurai right in the middle of Tamil Nadu. I ran out of battery and so I did not get any pictures.

Both the weddings went of splendidly and I met some of my old colleagues from my days of service in the Department of Irrigation. We had some recollections of the past experiences while in service. All of us have retired.

About Me

I was born in Thanjavur in Tamil Nadu in India and went to Burma (now Myanmar) in 1954 and lived there for 9 years returning to India in 1963 when I went to Karaikal in the State of Pondichery to finish my schooling at St. Mary's High School. Did my Pre-University in St. Joseph's College, Trichy and then went on to do my Engineering (Civil) in the Thiagaraja College of Engineering, Madurai.

Subsequent to my education I joined the Public Works Department of the Government of Tami Nadu as a Junior Engineer and rose to the rank of a Joint Chief Engineer and retired in September 2006.

Now I spend my time with my iPad, my PC, my Books and my Music System.
